What are the differences between these two applications? I know homer is free and opensource, and VoIPMonitor is a paid application. Besides that what is the difference? Is there anything else out there for monitoring VoIP?

Palladion now owned by Oracles called OCOM. empirix is another company in this space. Both are commercial. Have 5 + years experience with Palladion. Nothing but praise for this solution. -------------------- Brian Sent from Mobile _____________________________ From: Colton Conor <colton.conor at gmail.com<mailto:colton.conor at gmail.com>> Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2015 8:06 PM Subject: [VoiceOps] Homer vs VoIPMonitor To: <voiceops at voiceops.org<mailto:voiceops at voiceops.org>> What are the differences between these two applications?

NetScout's nGeniusONE platform has a solid set of VOIP/SIP monitoring capabilities that I've gotten significant miles out of. HOMER is something I'd like to get up and going just to see it, but haven't had enough free time.

We use VoipMonitor. It's the best that I have used. Definitely better in stability and support compared to Palladion.

Ive used Voipmonitor for a few years now, it started out OK, but now.. its AWESOME. parts are open source ( mainly the sniffer / analyser ). the commercial part is the web UI. I cant praise it highly enough, and the price is excellent. Martin is also highly contactable and open to suggestion / bug reports. I know someone else who uses homer and loves it, but unless im mistaken, Homer only does SIP. Voipmonitor does our SIP and RTP.

I believe you are correct that Homer only does SIP, where VoIPMonitor does both. This bring me back to the question of Polycom Phones with VQMON that use thee standard *RTCP-XR (IETF RFC 3611) format and can publish metrics using the SIP PUBLISH method. These are RTP stats for the most part right? It looks like Homer does support RTCP-XR as seen by this demo, and I know VoIPMonitor is working on it. I guess if you have an advanced phone/device that supports RTCP-XR is there a need to monitor RTP? Monitoring RTP (and recording every leg like VoIPMonitor does) takes up substantial resources I assume? On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 10:03 PM, jay binks <jaybinks at gmail.com> wrote:

Jumping on the VoIPmonitor bandwagon here; they've been more responsive than the average vendor to new feature requests. A memorable interaction went something like this: Voxox: "We'd like voipmon to do X." (e.g. process RTCP-XR and SIP PUBLISH reports from Polycom, or analyze a proprietary codec) VoIPMon: "We've had that on our roadmap for a while. Now that a customer (you) has requested X it will be moved to the top of our todo list. We're having a meeting today about upcoming priorities, and will follow up with you tomorrow with a timeline for the feature" Hard to beat that.

So based on everything I am getting from this thread, VoIPMonitor seems to be the way to go. I have not heard too much about homer. We are evaluating wholesale hosted PBX providers. One has VoIPMonitor integrated into their platform, and the other has Homer built into their platform. Trying to understand if I am at a disadvantage going with the platform that includes homer.

I have had experience with Empirix, Palladian and VoIPMonitor. Both Empirix and Palladian are EXPENSIVE and very hard to Engineer correctly to capture all the messaging. An under-engineered system will be VERY annoying and a HUGE waste of money. VoIPMonitor has been extremely valuable, very easy to use, simple to integrate, cost effective and plain old accurate. For the options available today, I wouldn't go with anything other than VoIPMonitor.

Any talk about VoIP monitory doing H.248 and/or NCS? Frank From: VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Colton Conor Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 7:36 AM To: Kidd Filby <kiddfilby at gmail.com> Cc: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Homer vs VoIPMonitor So based on everything I am getting from this thread, VoIPMonitor seems to be the way to go. I have not heard too much about homer. We are evaluating wholesale hosted PBX providers. One has VoIPMonitor integrated into their platform, and the other has Homer built into their platform. Trying to understand if I am at a disadvantage going with the platform that includes homer.

Pcapture, which is the commercial version of Homer, is also an excellent option. Cheers, Brad On Nov 19, 2015 5:06 PM, "Colton Conor" <colton.conor at gmail.com> wrote:
What are the differences between these two applications? I know homer is free and opensource, and VoIPMonitor is a paid application. Besides that what is the difference? Is there anything else out there for monitoring VoIP?
